The San Francisco Bay Area PostgreSQL February Meetup

Brian Hamlin presents:

PostGIS, developed by Refractions Reseach, adds support for geographic objects to PostgreSQL. In effect, PostGIS 'spatially enables' the PostgreSQL server. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS 'simple features specification for sql' and has been certified as compliant with the 'types and functions' profile.

With the current explosion of web-enabled geodata sources, Brian has been exploring ways to build location- aware services using Postgres and PostGIS.

Come hear an overview of the Open Source GeoSpatial Foundation (OSGeo), PostGIS and see some nifty demos of spatially aware data in action.

RSVP here to get fed.
